Title Synopsis: Taboo Topics by Nicole Johnston is a powerful manifesto for every woman ready to break free from silence and reclaim her power. From the hidden struggles of sexism to the unspoken realities of periods and menopause, this book dares to address the topics society often shies away from.
Through candid storytelling, corporate wisdom, and actionable insights, Johnston exposes the invisible barriers that hold women back—financial limitations, perfectionism, self-care myths, and more. With humor, honesty, and a touch of pop culture, Taboo Topics is both a wake-up call and a roadmap to empowerment.
Whether it's the pressure to "have it all together," the guilt of prioritizing yourself, or the frustration of being unheard in the workplace, Taboo Topics speaks to the struggles so many women silently carry. It’s the book that reassures you—you’re not alone, you’re not imagining it, and most importantly, you don’t have to accept it.
If you've ever felt like there must be an easier way, or wondered why some things are never discussed, this book is for you. It’s time to step into your power, challenge outdated norms, and start living authentically—unapologetically. With real talk and practical guidance, you’ll feel empowered to take charge of your life with confidence and clarity.
